This bill would create a new federal grant program to help public transportation systems pay for repairs, replacements, and upgrades to commuter rail bridges. It would set aside $1.5 billion each year from 2027 to 2031 for these projects. Commuters and intercity rail passengers would benefit from improved infrastructure, leading to fewer delays and safer travel.

This bill would stop state and local police from enforcing immigration laws. Instead, only federal immigration officers and authorized Department of Homeland Security employees would handle these duties. This changes how individuals suspected of immigration violations would be approached.

This bill would require the National Park Service to create a program to cut down on disposable plastic products in all national parks. Park managers would decide how much to reduce or eliminate these items, while also teaching visitors about the changes. This means visitors might need to bring their own reusable bottles and bags when visiting parks.

This bill would make sure federal funding continues for efforts to monitor, assess, and research the Great Lakes Basin. Right now, this funding is set to end in 2025, but this bill would push that deadline to 2030. This means ongoing work to understand and protect the Great Lakes would not stop.
